Answer:

The answer is about
120\ miles

Explanation:

In this problem i will assume that

In
1\ week there are
5\ weekday

so

In
1\ month there are
4\ weeks

In
1\ month there are
20\ weekday

we know that

Alex runs
5.9 miles each weekday

so by proportion

find how many miles run in a month


(5.9)/(1)(miles)/(day)=(x)/(20) (miles)/(day)\\ \\x=20*5.90\\x=118\ miles
